Plunkett's disease

Plunkett's disease, also known as Plunkett's syndrome, is a rare genetic condition characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disability, and distinctive facial features. It primarily affects males and is caused by mutations in specific genes. Symptoms can vary widely among individuals, often including challenges with learning, speech, and motor skills. The condition is named after Dr. Plunkett, who contributed to its identification. Although there is no cure, supportive therapies can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected. Awareness and understanding of the disease are crucial for fostering a supportive environment for individuals and families.
